    You could also consider just running the binary given that alternative fits your usecase? Single-user and trusting the syncthing-team, but they seem (my opinion, no affiliation, fellow user only) highly trustworthy. The binary auto-updates and you don’t have to wait for the distro package maintainers to update the repos. Might be an acceptable tradeoff in the case of syncthing, or maybe not - just raising as an alternative for you to consider.

      Oh wow, I was not aware of this option! I think I’d wait for fiesta to upgrade, since it’s weeks anyway. But in general, that’s very useful to have it updating itself not supervised! A potential attack surface, but I guess for most casual users that’s not a real threat. Thanks for letting me (and I hope someone else too) know!
